Living in Manchester on Pittsburgh’s North Side, we are very fortunate to have several varieties of Asian/Asian-American cuisine available within a 10-15 minute drive, including Indian, Nepalese, Thai and Cambodian as well as multiple Chinese restaurants with different regional emphasis. So we were pleased to learn about a relatively new location serving Burmese cuisine. Royal […]

A Reel Take On the Movie ‘Boys’

Boys the Film

Boys is a sweet movie about teenaged boys who run a lot and kiss sometimes, and that’s alright, although I’m not familiar with the legal aspect of things. It’s the sort of movie that’s shot in a way that makes you think “teenaged boys kissing is alright in my book!” and then you think, “I […]

Giveaway – Madonna’s Rebel Heart Album

Madonna Rebel Heart

I still remember the first time I saw the video for “Borderline” on Friday Night videos in the early 1980’s. I was entranced both by the music and Madonna. That song is still very special to me. I would always want to find that video if I opened a lucky door. It was that good […]

Ibsen at Off The Wall Makes Me Rethink Realism

Off The Wall Theater

This weekend, Off The Wall Theater is debuting a modern version of the Henrik Ibsen classic “Ghosts” and it has interesting implications for Women’s History Month.

When Ledcat and Sue Met Waxie Moon: A Review

Waxie Moon

This weekend, Ledcat and I watched Waxie Moon in Fallen Jewel. We had not previously heard of Waxie Moon, who is a self-styled ‘international gender-blending queer lady boylesque performance-art stripping sensation.’ Waxie had previously been featured in a documentary about the mostly queer neo-burlesque community in Seattle. This second movie is more plot driven, exploring […]

I thought her recent television special was sweet. I don’t really like this album cover, but I like the music. Clarkson is the singer we should support. […]
